Since I've been wearing a lot of grey and murky polishes lately, I believe that it only decent to show you one that hasn't been shown on this blog so far. Sephora Color Hit polishes fall into the more expensive per ml category, but they are often discounted so that interesting shades can easily be purchased quite cheaply. That was the case with this one.

New L'Oreal polishes have hit the stores. No more tiny overpriced Color Riche polishes, Color Riche Le Vernis à l'Huile polishes are now in town. They are packaged in bottles that resemble Essie bottles and have flat, wide, rounded brush, just like Essie. What is interesting is the stem of the brush - it has bevelled horizontal indentations that prevent excess polish from dripping. These polishes are enriched with rose, lotus flower, camelia seed and argan oils, but I do not know what are they doing in polish.

After last week's break from Matching Manicures, I am back again. Today we have something really close to my heart as a theme - books. If you follow me on Instagram (@cajkinekandze), you already know that I enjoy reading books, especially chilling stories. That is why I did not have a moment of struggle what will be my direct inspiration - Montague Rhodes James and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, i. e. old Wordsworth Editions collections of their stories.

I am back from my forced leave from blogging (and computer in general) and I have prepared for today another post about a polish that has been untried for quite awhile. p2 polishes are sadly unavailable outside of Germany, which is why I am hesitant to use them. However, if they are just sitting untried, they are of no use to me, so I shall try in future to combine posts about fresh, current polishes with those about polishes that no longer are that.

For winter holidays Male Palčica had sent me, among other things, three polishes from a brand that was new to me. Makeup Revolution is best known for its eyeshadow palettes and I was unaware that they have nail polishes before I'd gotten these. I deliberated long and hart if I should show them on my blog in the first place because, despite Suzana's best intentions, the three polishes that came to my possession are of quite low quality. After talking to her I learned that their quality varies from shade to shade and that it is impossible to say if the polish will be good or bad without reading reviews of particular shades that we're interested in. However, it is the thought that counts and I am happy to have had a chance to try products from a brand that is unavailable in Serbia.

You could see in my monthly overview that new Rimmel Super Gel polishes have arrived in our stores. This is a hybrid polish system, consisting of twenty colour polishes and a top coat. They are quite ambitiously promisin up to two weeks of wear and you can read how they performed in the article below.

I have barely managed to publish today's mani. It seems that my computer is too hot so he decided to overheat and melt all the chargers and adapters and, since it will be leaving for repairs tomorrow, I have no idea when I will be able to publidh the next article. For this, I apologize in advance.

I have recently received a package with some nice Born Pretty goodies, and this duochromatic polish was among them. Born Pretty Chameleon polishes come in 6 ml bottles with confusing Holo Polish label. I find the price of $15.88 too high for this amount and quality, but they are often at some sort of discount and at the moment this one retails for "just" $6.99.

The theme of today's post is a polish that has been among my untrieds for the longest time. With nearly three years in my collection without being worn or shown, I can freely name OPI Russian Navy Suede my most neglected polish. Suede polishes have long been discontinued, but sometimes polishes from it can be found on Ebay and similar websites.

Green, I love you, but I don't like when other colours want to impersonate you. Some years ago I have seen Jessica Fishnets and Fringe at Scrangie's and I had fallen in love with that gorgeous teal polish. Sadly, contents of the bottle I have is nothing like it and I couldn't consider it green, blue or teal even in my wildest dreams. You've been warned. Jessica polishes come in 14.8 ml bottles and retail for about €10.

For this weeks theme we are looking for inspiration in colours. Or, in my case, in absence of colour. :D I knew from the start that for this theme I was going to do a black mani. I have selected three of my favourite black polishes and I trust that I have combined them in a tasteful and pleasing way.

I have recently met with my fellow polishaholics and we were discussing metallic blue polishes so I was inspired to take out a true classic and the first OPI polish I have ever worn - Russian Navy. This shade is now part of core collection and is ready available and you have to have it if you don't already own it.
